This book deals with anticipating the future of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi through analyzing the past and evaluating the present
And developing a vision for the future, which is done by identifying the different methodologies for dealing with possible scenarios by stating the facts and presenting statistics and the most important problems facing the economy of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi in light of the current regional and international challenges and political and economic changes, and presenting proposals for developing solutions to these problems so that they can be applied on the ground with the capabilities available and searching for alternative sources to develop non-oil revenues that help the emirate’s national income to compensate for the shortfall due to the decline in the price of oil, which is considered the most important pillar of the economic entity and a major determinant of the paths of economic and social development that the region has witnessed during recent decades in order to create a diversified and sustainable economy that matches or exceeds its counterpart in other economies. Comparable developed countries globally, such as the economies of Norway, Ireland and Singapore, must therefore adopt an unconventional productive economic model away from total dependence on oil so that it constitutes the real fence that protects the development process and ensures its sustainability.
